I apologize for my absence lately. I’m sure as many of you know/ remember this is finals time…
Time to buckle down and remember what my professors attempted to teach me, and what I (may or may not) have learned.
Instead of sharing one of my recipes, I thought I would share I have noticed around the internet. These are recipes that are just fabulous.
First, Lindsey from Gingerbread Bagels has been on a bit of an ice cream kick. She recently posted a recipe for an amazing looking funfetti birthday cake ice cream. It looks so fun, and I can only imagine how it tastes! Funfetti is one of my favorite cake mixes and makes me think of one of my good friends, Kelly. I know she will swoon over this recipe.

Second, Marnely from Cooking with Books posted an easy to follow tutorial on how to make your on cheese at home. It sounds so much simpler then I ever thought it would be. The possibilities with cheese making seem endless. This is something I have been interested in learning for a long time, and I want to try my hand at it as soon as possible.
Third, Lillian from Sweets by Sillianah has been doing a section on yeast doughs and recently posted a recipe for homemade bagels. I saw this and I was amazed! I am definitely a bagel fan, but I don’t eat them often. Her homemade recipe is sure to change my mind as I’m sure it will anyone with a fear of carbs.
Fourth, Vicki from Wilde in the Kitchen made a fresh and delicious sounding muffin with mango and lime. I don’t know about you but I am a huge tropical fruit fan. My parents taught me when I was younger to squeeze a little fresh lime on papaya and mango before you eat it to cut a little of the sweetness, so when I saw her amazing muffin recipe I knew it was a winner.
And finally, Maureen at The Orgasmic Chef recently posted a recipe for a candy that is completely new to me, Maine Needhams. Have you guys heard of these little chocolate covered confections? They incorporate potatoes, powdered sugar, and coconut to create a completely different type of candy. I really want to give them a try. I love new recipe ideas!
I hope you stop by these blogs, leave a comment, and give some of these recipes a try. They all sound wonderful!

I can’t thank you enough for the mention, you’re fantastic! It’s been a long, long time (in a previous century) that I studied for finals. Give it all you’ve got and don’t think another thing about it. I’m sure you’ll do immensely well. Looks to me like you probably excel at anything you put your hand to.
You are welcome! I really want to make some of those for myself. And thank you, you are far too sweet!
erin, thanks so much for including my bagels in your faves! i’ve been having fun with this series… though i am itching to get back to sweets now. lol!
wow, i’ve never heard of those candies either…potatoes in chocolate? i gotta check that out.
good luck with finals… it’ll be summer vaca before you know it! =)
I have never heard of chocolate and potatoes combined. My rule of thumb that just about anything with chocolate has to be good. Good luck on your finals. I can remember all those days of cramming before the final. Yuck. Not very fond memories.
Erin, that is a great round-up! Looks all fabulous. Hope all is going well for the Finals. Hang in there and sending over the good luck vibes this side of the globe for you!
Everything looks yummy good! Great choices!
Good luck on your finals…I remember those days! Believe it or not, I miss them now!
